Sensing in Those Hard to Reach Places



Hey, we can't realistically power all of our sensor systems with batteries.

For starters, it's not practical, and battery replacement would be an absolute nightmare.

There are also many common situations where you simply can't attach wires and connectors (like an office chair, for example).

From Windmills and Solar Panels to RFID and mechanical energy reclamation systems - energy harvesting is the future.

So, what are some good use cases for sensing in hard to reach places?

Why nobody fills out product warranty cards...

The importance of fast feedback and encouraging your customers to participate.
